What planets are similar to each other in size density and internal?
the answer is Venus, and Earth
What are the 2 other name of inner planets?
Terrestrial Planets, and Rocky Planets
Compared to the density of liquid water 1 gram. what is the average range of density in the terrestrial planets?
The density of water in terrestrial depends on many different factors. The density can only be determined based on the planet's history, they may have "water", but there could be other things inside. Also the gravity of the planet play a role of the density of the water.
Describe a terrestrial planet?
To qualify as a planet, a body has to be approximately spherical (achieving hydrostatic equilibrium under its own gravity), it has to orbit the sun directly and it has to have cleared its orbit of all other objects - so that at that distance from the sun, there are no other sizable bodies.
Why are Mercury Venus Earth and Mars called the terrestrial planets?
They are called terrestrial because they are "Earth-like" (Latin Terra, or Earth).The four inner, rocky planets are known as the terrestrial planets because they have a clearly defined terrain (unlike the four outer gas giant planets).They are all made of rock (and other things).So, in a way, the other three are similar to Earth.The word "terrestrial" comes from a Latin word meaning "land" or "earth".
What physical feature of Mars are atypical compared with the other terrestrial planets?
its Density

Why are some planets called terrestrial planets?
There word terrestrial contains the Latin root terrawhich means "earth." The term refers to planets that are similar to Earth in having solid, rocky sufaces. The other main category of planets are jovian planets, like Jupiter, which are made mostly of gas.
What terrestrial planets are there?
The terrestrial planets in our solar system are Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars. There are many more terrestrial planets orbiting stars other than the sun.

What is terrestrial geology?
Terrestrial geology is the study of the earth, which is a terrestrial body. Terrestrial geology differs from planetary geology, which is the study of other planets.
The difference between a jovian planet and a Terran planet?
Jovian Planets: Gas GiantsThe gas giants, popularly referred to as the Jovian planets, are the planets which are not composed of any solid matter. Technically speaking, the planets which have 10 times more mass than the Earth are classified as the Jovian planets. The examples of Jovian planets in our solar system, include the planet Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune. These planets are referred to as the Jovian planets owing to their stark resemblance to the planet Jupiter, the largest planet in the solar system. Other than these four planets in our solar system, several other gas giants have been discovered in outer space.Terrestrial Planets: Inner PlanetsTerrestrial planets, also known as the rocky planets or the telluric planets, are those planets which are predominantly composed of silicate rocks. The examples of terrestrial planets in the solar system are Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars. These planets resemble the planet Earth to a significant extent, and hence they are referred to as 'Earth-like' or 'terrestrial' (derived from the Latin word the Earth - terra). Other than the Earth, and three other terrestrial planets in our solar system, the scientists have identified a number of planets with terrestrial traits in outer space.Jovian Planets Vs Terrestrial PlanetsThat brings us back to the terrestrial planets vs Jovian planets comparison. The most basic difference between Jovian and terrestrial planets is their size. While the Jovian planets are gigantic, the terrestrial planets are considerably small. In fact, the smallest Jovian planet is 10 times larger than the planet Earth, which is the largest terrestrial planet. Even in terms of the mass, Jovian planets score over their terrestrial counterparts. The smallest Jovian planet has 15 times more mass than the Earth. The surface of the Jovian planets is made up of gases, while the surface of the terrestrial planets is made up of solid rock. Similarly, the atmosphere of the terrestrial planets is predominantly made up of nitrogen and carbon dioxide, while the atmosphere of the Jovian planets is made up of hydrogen and helium. As far as the distance from the Sun is concerned, the terrestrial planets are closer to the Sun, and hence are referred to as inner planets, while the Jovian planets are farther, and hence are referred to as the outer planets. Surprisingly, however, the speed at which the Jovian planets rotate is much faster than the terrestrial planets. The density of the terrestrial planets is five times that of water, while the density of the Jovian planets is as much as that of water. Yet another point of difference between the Jovian planets and the terrestrial planets is the number of natural satellites. While the terrestrial planets either have none or a very few (Mercury-0, Venus-0, Earth-1 and Mars-2), the Jovian planets have a large number of them.
Is earth the only planet with a core?
No. The other terrestrial planets likely have metallic cores similar to Earth's. The gas giants likely have rocky cores.
